every so often there will be a pocket of these flowers. they have fabulous freckled faces, and there was a butterfly flitting amongst these ones...
these are some kind of buttercup (maybe?) that grows near the water. although it's hard to tell what's normally a wet area, and what's simply flooded with snow melt... on this day i had to walk a long way to find dry land to dig a jimbrick hole, and my first two excavations filled with water as fast as i dug...
not at all sure this third one's a native. i saw trees with these flowers in yosemite valley near the visitors centre, and then again a couple of days ago along the trail. they look like they should be in a south american rain forest...
more of those freckly ones...
this 5th one also looks like it might not be a native - but that might be cos we grow it in gardens in australia. today i walked through miles and miles of azalea bushes, which i assume are indigenous. it's funny how many californian plants you'd see in a nursery in australia...
For a "camera having issues" these photos are fantastic! Beautiful flowers. It's astounding - the variety of scenery you have had.
